Isothermal titration calorimetric assessment of lignin conversion by laccases.

ABSTRACT: Lignin valorization may offer a sustainable approach to achieve a chemical industry that is not completely dependent on fossil resources for the production of aromatics. However, lignin is a recalcitrant, heterogeneous, and complex polymeric compound for which only very few catalysts can act in a predictable and reproducible manner. Laccase is one of those catalysts and has often been referred to as an ideal "green" catalyst, as it is able to oxidize various linkages within lignin to release aromatic products, with the use of molecular oxygen and formation of water as the only side product. The extent and rate of laccase-catalyzed lignin conversion were measured using the label-free analytical technique isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). IITC provides the molar enthalpy of the reactio
